Linux on Nintendo DS, Update
fdevliegher writes "Trying to port Linux to various portable devices is hot nowadays. One project is porting Linux to the Nintendo DS, and is making big progress lately. Right after the DSLinux guys had a working bootable 2.6 kernel, they have put lots of effort in making the sash shell work, in which they also succeeded. The latest feature added is the touchscreen keyboard. It allows users to tap in the commands, providing a much easier input method than before (when only the buttons could be used to input text). Only the basics are being worked on for now, but the future uses of Linux on the Nintendo DS are practically unlimited. In other words, it might become a cheap alternative for a PDA, an emulator, movie viewer, maybe even internet browser, who knows."

You're new here, aren't you?
Secession is the right of all sentient beings.
Finally a way to get decent games on linux hardware!
Who in their right mind would want to do that? As far as I'm concerned, let the Windows lusers stick with their crap OS. After all, the DS is too good of a platform to waste on Windows.
And they wonder why I left Windows.....
